Ceylon

and its Tamils are part of the state and culture of the now existing Srilanka. How many ever Rajapakse's come this fact cannot be erased.

A few questions:
Is this post supporting LTTE?
No. I am a staunch, devout believer of Gandhi. He is my cult figure. I am up in arms against any forms of violence. However valid and correct reasons you have.

Is this post against Srilanka?
No. I hate the Government. Not the people.

Does this post support seperate Eelam (State) for the Tamils?
I leave it to you.
I am not going to write anything about the ongoing war at Srilanka. The war crimes are so bad that am not even ready to copy paste from where I had read.

Every one of us know that the Tamils living in Srilanka now, whose ancestors are Indians.
So why did they go there? They went to make a living out of the Tea Estates and rubber estates at Ceylon then. If they had gone there, only to work, is it right on their part to demand a separate country?No. They would not have demanded, had they not been suppressed and suppressed and suppressed all their lives. Had they not been denied equality in their own country for whose economy they work. Had they not been denied higher positions to the deserving Tamil (for the Sinhalese considered and still believe that Tamils are Slave).

Why did they leave their home land and go to Ceylon in the first place?
That is where we will have to revisit History. The Britishers, who were good at divide and rule did their best in Ceylon too.

When they saw the Nature's blessing in abundance their quest to acquire new territory for Her Highness rose to great heights.

They applied their Divide and Rule formula... it didn't have an immediate effect which they wanted.

If the whole of Ceylon was practicing Buddhism, who & how did they Divide there?
Rich and Poor. Business Class and Working Class. It was true that they did not have any positive and immediate results but in the due course they made inroads.

They found the Indians, the Tamils in the coastal very promising to be taken there as labourers or bonded labourers.

Poor Tamils of Kanyakumari, Nagercoil, Thirunelveli were lured with a job and good pay packets along with food and shelter.

OUR ANCESTORS FELL PREY TO IT... So the Tamils at last migrated to Srilanka as labourers.

Let me continue this post.. till then, I only seek you guys to think about the cause... their loss... their pain...
